We are at RISK!

Two million foetuses are killed every year through abortion, simply because they are female. - BBC News


Just a sneak peek into the gravity of the imbalance created in the society. Here is the snapshot of the drastic decline in the number of girls as per census 1991-2001 in Haryana, one of the states where the crime of female foeticide is widely practiced. What you see in red shows that the number of girls has gone below 800 for every 1000 boys. What do you think happened to those girls? Very simple...They have been killed! But for what? For your preference of sons...

What do you think is the solution?
Save Girls! Stop Female Foeticide! Under the guided presence of an enlightened master, Anandmurti Gurumaa, Shakti is making a genuine effort to stop this genocide, educate masses about the prevalance of evil practicies like female foeticide and infanticide, and awaken them to the reality of growing disparity in the over all ratio in female-male. If we don't pay attention to this now then it will lead to unmanageable consequences and it will become impossible to make up for the missing girls.

Shakti is a Clarion Call to wake up to the alarming situation, stop the femicide, put an end to the discriminatory treatment given to the girl child, and empower them with education. No parents have the right to kill the girl child. It is agonising to note that the major reason of resorting to the femicide is the preference for sons. Society needs to get rid of this age-old conditoning. Girls support family more than sons do. Girls should be given a chance to live. It's high time now to wake up and not to kill the womb of a mother.

And by providing education to the girls-Shakti is creating a bright future where girls become a pride for parents and nation at large. We have examples of girls scaling heights and becoming great achievers. There are many such examples in our society such as Sania Mirza, Kiran Bedi, Shabana Azmi, Sushmita Sen and Lata Mangeshkar. This has been possible only with education. Educated girls make a better world!

Thanks for publishing the facts and figures related to female infanticide in our country . I hope that more and more people will become aware of the crimes being committed as they see these alarming figures.
